As discussed in the article [2] and in the commentary, the findings fit the typical response profile of rTMS. In clinical use on depression and pain indications, our institutional protocol is modified from study by Hodaj et al. [3]. It consists of intensive period of 10 sessions during 2 weeks followed by 8 maintenance sessions over the first 2 months: 2 weekly sessions for the first 2 weeks, 1 weekly session for the next 2 weeks and 1 session in 2 weeks then after. After that, the interval of maintenance treatment can be lengthened. In pain indications 1–2 sessions per month is typical in patients receiving positive response and undergoing maintenance treatment.

The current recommendations for rTMS state, that there still is not unequivocal maintenance treatment algorithm available [4]. The present study encourages future research on rTMS for CP/CPPS and show that at least moderate treatment response can be reached even with short treatment and without maintenance. We encourage future randomized controlled trials to study also the role of maintenance sessions.
